Volunteer Have you considered volunteering for the Capital Area Humane Society lately? Not only will you learn about animals and get lots of licks and tail wags, but you will also meet others who share similar interests. With the advent of the Skills Training,
Engagement & Practice for Success (STEPS) program volunteers
will spend 25 hours learning about the mission of the Capital
Area Humane Society as well as the fundamentals behind caring
for the animals. Training classes will be offered, each
consisting of 20 hours of interactive classroom/clinic learning
and 5 hours of mentored volunteering. Class will take place on
Thursday evenings or Saturday mornings. Attendance is required
at all sessions to graduate and participate in the volunteer
program. These classes are for adult volunteers as well as
students age 12 and up. For more information, email STEPS@cahs-pets.org with "Volunteer Training Class" in the subject line. Applications for the new STEPS training classes are available by clicking on the link to the left and at the shelter. The $30 fee includes a t-shirt, training manual and name badge. Applications are due three weeks prior to the start of the training class. These are competitive applications and space is limited, so submitting an application does not automatically mean you are in the class. Class dates (must attend all class sessions): Next session, Saturdays from 9am-1pm
Saturday, June 1 Saturday, June 8 Saturday, June 15 Saturday, June 22 Saturday, June 19 Volunteer opportunities include:
Age Requirement While the majority of our volunteers are age 16 or older, we do have junior volunteers, ages 12-15. All junior volunteers are required to work along side a parent, guardian or another adult volunteer partner over 21-years-old. The junior volunteer and their Adult Volunteer Partner will always volunteer as a team. It is important that all junior volunteers discuss becoming a Humane Society volunteer with an Adult Volunteer Partner before signing up for training class. Both partners must submit a STEPS application. Humane Society volunteers ages 55 and up are eligible for special benefits available through RSVP, a program of Firstlink. For More Information For more information about volunteering, please contact the Volunteer Office by email or by phone (614) 777-7387, ext. 248.
